vaikutusvallan/aseman vahvistaminen

I've mainly come across empowerment in the context of "empowerment of women". It normally translates into either vaikutusvallan or aseman vahvistaminen (or parantaminen).

(the eurofem link uses \"valtaistaminen\" or \"vaikutusvallan lisääminen\", but I would still go with \"vahvistaminen\")

Ok, my last comment.

This is a long background explanation to why one should use \"valtaistaminen\". If you\'re translating for official use, maybe this is the way to go (it\'s also used by Stakes).

After long thought, so would I. Especially in the case of victims, where the general meaning would not be to make their situation better, but to "empower" them. Thank you, Desmond!
agree Susan Ruusunen : Likewise
